One of my main goals with zap.store is to help raise the quality bar of open source software.

Most FOSS is basically driven by programmers' passion – but on average programmers suck at UX.

We need better incentives for more professionals other than programmers (designers, product people, psychologists) to join open source projects and turn them into real competition to traditional high-quality closed-source applications.


some day people will be amazed that we earned thousands of sats for a single post on Nostr


We need more P2P exchanges or we are fucked !

My Experience with  nostr:npub1ex7mdykw786qxvmtuls208uyxmn0hse95rfwsarvfde5yg6wy7jq6qvyt9

**TL;DR Strike is garbage.**

I started using Strike in the middle of March this year.

My first impression was that it was a great app. It had Lightning integrated, on-chain withdrawals were free, and the setup was pretty easy, even though I had to do a full KYC. After all, they are regulated and that is to be expected.

I began using Strike to send and receive BTC and buy gift cards directly within the app. I was pretty amazed at how easy everything worked. I loved the app. I even recommended it as an onboarding app for pre-coiner friends. Well, not anymore.

One day in May, about two months later, I wanted to send some BTC to an exchange or buy a gift card (which was basically all I did with the app in those previous two months). However, the app denied access to my BTC. All I got was a cartoon lightning bolt saying, “We need to review your account. Contact support.”

At first, I was shocked. I didn't have my life savings in the app, but it wasn’t a trivial amount of sats either. So, there it was, right in my face for the first time: Not your keys, not your coins. I got angry with myself and with Strike too.

I contacted support.

Support wrote that to comply with regulations, they needed additional information (remember, I already did full KYC), like a pay stub, signed employee agreement, or tax statement.

This was my response:

Hey, the Bitcoin with which I funded my Strike account are savings from the past. I don't work currently, and I also have no tax statement because I just moved to Brazil last year. What exactly is the problem? I didn't do anything illegal or wrong. I expect this issue to be resolved immediately or you will lose a customer. I already regret using your service. I'm very disappointed.

Yeah, I was really pissed because I couldn’t access my sats. They locked me out. Just like that.

Strike answered:

Dear User,
Upon careful review, we have determined that your account has engaged in prohibited use. We regret to inform you that we can no longer provide you with access to our service.
At this time, your account has been permanently disabled. Please withdraw all remaining assets from your account within one week from receiving this message, and confirm with us when the withdrawal has been completed. After this timeframe, the account will be closed permanently. Please be advised that this decision is final.
Best regards,
The Strike Team

Okay… So now Strike accused me of “prohibited use” of their app.

I asked them to be kind and specify what prohibited use I engaged in. Because obviously, I don’t want to get in trouble or do anything illegal.

Their answer:

This decision is based on an assessment of different qualifications. Our customer support team can only confirm that we sent this message and assist with technical issues only. Support cannot reverse this decision, nor can they share any more details related to this matter.

Thank you for that great answer. I can really see you care about your customers and their experience. But I guess at that point, I wasn’t their customer anymore anyway.

Still, I sent them another message and asked who I could talk to. If there was anybody who could clarify what I did wrong. Remember, all I did was send and receive BTC and buy gift cards.

Their answer? Well, they never answered again. Just like that. That was it.

After this beautiful experience, I posted about it on Nostr.
And guess what?  nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle answered.
Woohooo!
He said I should send him a DM and he would happily look into the issue.
Cool! Now that’s what I call customer service.
So, I did. No answer.
I sent him another one. Again, no answer.
I sent another one or two. Still no answer.
This was 5 weeks ago.
I guess he is very busy.

What a joke Strike is.

Made a bet today with a skeptic that Nostr will have more than 1M weekly active users by Jan 31, 2026

We are at ~35k today

That’s about 18 months from now

LFG 🚀


Today: One Federal Reserve, ~20,000 fiat banks worldwide.

Future: 10 million+ Bitcoin/Lightning banks, with no central bank and no bitcoin bailouts.


They rob you with taxes, they rob you with inflation, they don't give you health care, they don't give you security, the police serve the power not the citizen, the armies serve the interests of capital not national sovereignty. The current democracy is a fallacy, the only thing that exists is your self and your pocket, the only thing that matters is you and your family, defend them.

Behave like a man and exchange all your shitty money for Bitcoin, let's make Bitcoin worth a million dirty dollars. Stop with the GameStop bullshit and shitcoins, it's either you or them, it's your family or them.

Take away the power of funding, take away the power to create money, take away the power to create wars with fake money, take away the option to confiscate your wealth, be a man and behave like Satoshi.

I set up a new Lightning address by opening up a channel and depositing 100,000+ sats and it cost about $6 to create the channel. After adding my new Lightning address to my Damus mobile app my zaps were activated. I tested it with a separate wallet and I am now set up for zaps.

Thanks @ZEUS !

GM! Stealthily the best news this week after Assange going free: the US government bureaucracy will no longer be able to deny your constitutional right to a jury trial. It had become standard procedure for federal agencies to build their own separate kangaroo courts with no juries where they controlled everything.

Have you ever purchased a cinema ticket with PayPal for a movie about the "REVOLUTION" happening in "IRAN"?

Well my friend did and the transaction took 3 days because PayPal decided to block the cinema's account in the mean time.

This is all normal now, right? Things have always been like this, right?

Made a bet today with a skeptic that Nostr will have more than 1M weekly active users by Jan 31, 2026

We are at ~35k today

That’s about 18 months from now

LFG 🚀


If 35k is accurate (in terms of unique npubs writing content) I wonder how many lurkers are actually using nostr, i think the creator to lurker ratio is usually around 80/20, so active users might be much larger? nostr:note1d6aehu8nfxchmdqny7v583xqv0vqd8y54epf3a9364dudx664c2qn4w4k9


The amount of backend stuff for various systems that Nostr can improve is immense.

Decentralized social media is a big deal, but that use case goes up against very large existing network effects. If you judge Nostr’s success based on not gaining traction on that front quickly enough, you’ll likely be disappointed. That’s why a lot of people come to Nostr, post a bit, and then leave for a while, and then come back when there’s some sort of catalyst, post a bit, and then leave again. That’s fine. It’ll take time. It’s a slow burn.

But in the meantime, the amount of development going on under the hood for all sorts of things is huge. In particular, I think the open-source social graph aspect is under-appreciated for how important it can be beyond just socials. Payments being the next obvious one, and probably bigger than people think. And many other things.

I just touched base with a friend who I had orange-pilled to discuss UTXO consolidation while fees are low. I had orange-pilled him at the perfect time, when BTC was less than $20,000 after FTX. We discussed UTXO management and he checked to make sure he was good. Then he said “Hey, what should I do with these sats that I have in Wallet of Satoshi” 👀

“Oh how much do you have on there?”

“I think like 1,000”

“1,000 sats right? 😬”

Just a reminder that your duties after orange-pilling friends and family are never really done. His funds are now SAFU and in his custody.

Lots of posts going around that Wikileaks has deleted the DNC Email leak as part of Assange's plea deal.

This is incorrect information. 👇

It is being reported due to a lack of context of the Saipan hearing published by the Australian newspaper The Age.

The Age's live report states that "The court hears the US lawyers are satisfied that Assange has undertaken  a requirement to have WikiLeaks destroy the classified information."

This statement only pertains to unpublished classified information as well as to the extent it is in the control of Assange to evoke the destroying of such documents according to the plea agreement.

The DNC Email leak has been widely unavailable returning an internal server error since at least 2023. WL has had numerous server issues over the years - this is nothing new.

(Lots of people also conflating the DNC leak with the Clinton Email leak; these are two separate things.) Let's normalize to always check official sources.

#ClimateScam is 0% science, 100% scam.


I’m indebted to many of you here on Nostr

In full transparency, last week my newsletter just hit 50 paid subscribers and 5K in revenue. Early days, but here's how this has already been a big boost for me and why this is relevant to you.

I wrote the newsletter with the intention to do deep research that shifted the narrative on Bitcoin. But I need your help to continue this.

If you believe in Bitcoin's potential here's 5 reasons your subscribing is worth it

1. It empowers you orange-pill more people. This newsletter anticipates new people's objections to bitcoin and gives you with the data, the sources and the stories to overcome them in a way that's easy and inspiring. When you sign up for this newsletter, you're signing up accelerate Bitcoin adoption

2. You'll be entertained and challenged by shareable stories
 This newsletter contains stories that you cannot find anywhere else
In the last three months I’ve broken an inside scoop about
🔥 infighting and division within GreenpeaceUSA’s anti-bitcoin campaign
🔥 Cambridge acknowledging defects in their Bitcoin emission modeling
🔥 mining never having been banned in China
🔥 bitcoin hitting new all time highs for sustainable fuel mix. (when you ask AI engines about Bitcoin's sustainable fuel mix, they are now already quoting my newsletter!)

These scoops are available first, and in detail, only in the newsletter.

3. Your sub directly supports me doing high quality bitcoin and energy research. If you feel grateful to the work I do, a sub not only expresses your gratitude, it also provides me the fuel to give back to you even more things you feel grateful about in the future!!! Thanks to you sub, I’ve been able to start the digital assets research institute and be involved in filming of a "21 Voices" video that are now been seen by senators deciding bitcoin mining policy.

4. It's in your self-interest!
ESG gaslighting is a major instrument bitcoin antagonists use to suppress price and slow user adoption, particularly “on the left”. By giving you a regular, plain-English easy-to-share, evidence-based account of how Bitcoin is helping the people and planet your friends care about, you are releasing what has been a handbrake to more people supporting Bitcoin and investing into Bitcoin.

5. You're helping people get bitcoin jobs. I’ve recently recruited Elvis Gwaro from Kenya to help write the newsletter. He gets a direct % of all subs, and as a result is now one step closer to his dream of working fully in the bitcoin ecosystem thanks to your subs.

If even one of these resonated with you, you are welcome to subscribe here for around the price of a Starbucks coffee a month

GM Nostr!

I’m excited to share more about what I’m building and why. My project is Seer, a consumer-friendly, NIP-29 enabled application that's native to Apple platforms. Why Apple first? That's where my expertise lies. I believe the Nostr ecosystem needs more apps that are intuitive for newcomers while delivering exceptional performance and leveraging the latest platform features.

Seer will concentrate on NIP-29 relay-based group communications. I'm staying focused on making group interactions seamless and efficient, without trying to encompass all of Nostr's capabilities. This approach echoes what  nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m pointed out a while back about the value of "micro apps" — tools that do one thing exceptionally well.

Additionally, Seer will be powered by my Swift Nostr libraries, Nostr and NostrClient. While there are some excellent options out there, I plan to develop and adapt these libraries specifically to fit Seer’s needs. This doesn't mean they can’t be used for other Nostr projects, but my primary goal is to ensure they serve Seer’s requirements optimally and conveniently.

I'm looking forward to bringing Seer into your hands and making Nostr even more accessible to everyone. Stay tuned!

It's a remarkable talk, I suggest watching it

He gave it right after releasing Collateral Murder, before his ability to travel was frozen

After successful configuration, the device was found on my Pixel but not on my iPhone. I think it would make sense to add an Ethernet port to the device, even if the price will be a little bit higher. I configured it to connect to the Braiins pool to monitor different power levels before I attempt solo mining.

#nostr is currently missing a MASSIVE opportunity.  There is a new bitcoin testnet, testnet4.  It is 100% compatible with nostr identity which uses bitcoin taproot. Furthermore, there are many faucets that let developers get started with on-chain transactions for free. The surface of dev at the intersection of nostr and bitcoin testnet is enormous because they both use the same identity system.  Its a great chance to unleash the possibilities of bitcoin and nostr together, in a safe and forgiving developer environment


Swaps have always been hit and miss. Your best option is to withdraw them off Mutiny and into another wallet. Try throughh LN, if that doesnt work, on chain.

An update to our apps have been made that should help performance when a single fedimint guardian is down. Please continue withdrawing out of the Freedom One and Bitcoin Principals federation. The LN gateways might be experiencing heavy load so try on chain if you need to. Getting plenty of reports of successful withdraws so far today, try again if you had issues before.

The fedimint team is working on short and long term solutions but for now it's best to withdraw and remove the federations. We have turned off lightning addresses for now too.

Sorry for the issues.

2) Investment tax certificates
3) Any other income

Just to prove I haven't been nailed enough by income tax, inflation, VAT, Petrol Tax, Import duties, property tax and fees

I know I have it much easier than people in the developed world where they really on your arse about these things, but how isn't getting rid of all this admin and obvious win for everyone?

Just scrap all this pretending, you're already printing the money, why still have these hoops? It's not like any of these funds you recoup pay back the debt just rack up some more

What a day.

The incredibly sad saga of Julian Assange has always been an ache in my heart. Someone being illegally imprisoned without charges, for an heroic act to show the world the truths of their governments. He poked in cracks where the system shows it's ugliest face.

I hope he can unite with his family and that his legacy will live on. If he goes down, we all go down. We must protect people like and their work him at all cost.

another "permissionless" solution built on top of something that is inherently prone to get rugged - DNS system.

its already bad enough that lightning network is based on public ips (yes, i know you can also run it on tor, thx) which is a huge privacy leak and potential vulnerability.

until we need things that require someone elses permission (ip, dns etc) we'll always be one step behind. We need to change the foundation and pull the control out at its roots.

PSA: The functionality of multiple Fedimint federations is significantly degraded due to severe DNS issues.

It seems to be the case that some federation guardians have an XYZ domain that the DNS registrar has taken over. Freedom One and Bitcoin Principals appear to have one guardian offline due to this.

Unfortunately, despite the server and keys for these guardians being intact, there is no way for the DNS of a guardian to be swapped out after the fact. We became aware of this issue last week and then became aware that multiple federations are experiencing this: https://github.com/fedimint/fedimint/issues/5482/

Given the critical state of these federations, with one guardian out of four being permanently offline, it's essential that if you have funds in these federations, you should withdraw them immediately. Unfortunately, we're unaware of other public federations, so you must withdraw to another lightning or on-chain wallet.

From our experiences, intermittent/connectivity issues can occur with guardians, and this may result in errors if not all three remaining guardians are consistently online. No other guardian of these federations has XYZ or other domains like it. So, if you're having issues, please try again later.

Unfortunately, not much can be done on the Mutiny side, so we're removing the federation setup flow in the UI as a first step. Sorry for the inconvenience.

- The Rothschilds have been behind the founding of all central banks, such as the Bank of England, the Federal Reserve, the Bank of France, the Bank of Germany, the European Central Bank, and their most ambitious project, the BIS, the bank to control them all.

- Central banks are private entities that have nothing to do with the state, not to be confused with the state banks that preceded the central banks.

- The central banks have more power than the states, the central banks decide the economic cycles and thus dominate the states.

- The states and their citizens are the main slaves of the central banks through debt.

- The central banks want you to get into debt because money is debt, money is backed by debt and debt generates interest for the usurers of the bankers.

- Bankers love war, they finance both sides.

- Communism was financed by the bankers (Rothschild and company) because the Czars refused to create a central bank.

- Nazism was financed by the bankers because Germany refused to establish a central bank.

- The solution provided by the author of the documentary is to return to state banks with the right to issue currency.

My upcoming todos:

1. Get ndsctl to measure the data usage correctly - might need to dig into iptables

2. Get TollGates to recognize each other so that they can do business with one another

3. Either try to fit a cashu wallet onto the TollGate or make nostr events to broadcast connection intent so that DVMs can pay invoices on the router's behalf

This week I ran an experiment with nicotine via Zyn pouches. I don't advocate using nicotine given its addictive properties, but I wanted to see if Zyn would help suppress the urge to eat late at night without negatively impacting sleep quality.

For me the answer appears to be yes. Nicotine as an appetite suppressant has been widely studied and is well known. My sleep tracker showed that, unlike alcohol and caffeine, nicotine did not prevent me from enjoying a long night of deep and uninterrupted sleep.


Why? I don’t found no one error.

# c-lightning-REST with Tailscale on Start9

This guide gives you commands to run additional containers on Start9. This is not officially supported and will break on reboot. You can always run the containers again to restore the setup. The containers are used to provide access, via Tailscale, to Core Lightning's c-lightning-REST plugin

## Start9 setup
1. In your Start9 dashboard, make sure you have C-Lightning-REST enabled.
    - Services > Core Lightning > Config > Advanced > Plugins > C-Lightning-REST
2. SSH to your Start9, see documentation for help: https://docs.start9.com/0.3.5.x/user-manual/ssh
3. Access the root account: `sudo -i`
4. Run tailscaled and alpine/socat containers:

```
podman run -d \
--name=tailscaled.embassy \
-v /dev/net/tun:/dev/net/tun \
-v /var/lib:/var/lib \
-e TS_HOSTNAME=tailscaled \
--network=host \
--cap-add=NET_ADMIN \
--cap-add=NET_RAW \
docker.io/tailscale/tailscale:stable
```

```
podman run -d \
--name=socat.embassy \
--publish 4321:1234 \
--network=start9 \
docker.io/alpine/socat \
tcp-listen:1234,fork,reuseaddr tcp:c-lightning.embassy:3001
```

- Note, if you see errors related to `/root/.docker/config.json` or `Unexpected end of JSON`, run `echo '{}' > /root/.docker/config.json`

5. Check the status of tailscaled and log in

```
podman exec tailscaled.embassy tailscale --socket /tmp/tailscaled.sock status

# example output
Logged out.
Log in at: https://login.tailscale.com/a/1fa8e293dfd108

```

## Zeus wallet setup

1. **On your phone**, connect to Tailscale
2. **On your Start9**, copy your REST Macaroon (Hex) for Zeus wallet setup
    - Services > Core Lightning > Properties > REST Properties > REST Macaroon (Hex)
3. **In Zeus wallet**, add a new node
    - Settings > (tap the active node) > **+**

Setting | Value
---|---
Node interface | Core Lightning (c-lightning-Rest)
Host | tailscaled.YOUR_TAILNET_DOMAIN
Macaroon (Hex format) | *see last step*
REST Port | 4321
Certificate Verification | *disabled*

SAVE NODE CONFIG

- Note, you can find YOUR_TAILNET_DOMAN at https://login.tailscale.com/admin/dns

Building anything of real value takes time. So many open source projects are spun up as a weekend project and are quickly abandoned because lack of funding.

Initiatives like LTS give opensource a chance for us to build true long term value in cyberspace, and gives us a fighting chance against big tech who couldn’t care less about freedom tech and individual freedoms.

Thanks to the opensats donors and everyone who has kept this vision alive, and thanks to everyone who has believed in me for this long to keeping fighting the fight.

Hi y'all !

Long time lurker, first time poster, I am very pleased to finally annonce Satonomics (https://satonomics.xyz) ! 🎉

Which I've been building full-time since November 2023 and started looong before

In short: FOSS Glassnode (https://glassnode.com)

In long:

Satonomics is an open-source suite of tools that computes, distributes, and displays on-chain data, making it freely available for anyone to use.

While mempool.space gives a very micro view of the network this tool is the exact opposite and very complimentary by giving you a more global/macro view of the flow and various dynamics of the network.

It doesn't matter who you are and what you want to do with the data, I strongly believe and it is very important that anyone should have a full and free access, be able to verify and visualize any kind of data from the network. And so you'll find many many charts (and soon dashboards), or routes through an API (if you prefer it raw) to do anything; from doing a health-check, gain insight into the current or past state of the network or even trading, I don't care, do what you want !

I realize it's not as exciting as ecash and nostr/bitcoin tools but it is something that needed to be done. We can't have fiat-minded 700$/m closed tools like Glassnode being the go to.

Warning: very early and very alpha, things might break and the data might be false (and I'm 100% positive that some datasets are)

Anyway, enjoy and let's keep building ! 🔨

if really there are no ways to be sure that under zk are not happening arbitrary not-determided things then it doesnt solve any problem.
Under zk it is possible to verify the correctness of the computations.
You still cant "manually verify" the crypto that bitcoin uses unless you have very big hands, you need other layers of functions and appllied math.
In some cases we have advantages with bitcoin; it is simpler "counting all the utxo and verify that all the bitcoin that exists are the number we expect" than "run complicated algorithms that do stuff with proofs and crypto materials and expect some output to determine if all is run ok".
But for the most part, the crypto bitcoin core uses today is verified by "run complicated algorithms that do stuff with proofs and crypto materials and expect some output to determine if all is run ok".
The difference is that bitcoin crypto is battle tested, zk implementations are not.
But zk doesnt change nothing substantial, it is just another way to apply complicated math to do stuff and have deterministic ways to verify the correctness of calculations.


Are you aware of a way to manually verify the underlying math of the cryptography and zero knowledge proof without seeing the data behind it? Importantly this is distinct from just having a zero knowledge proof and trusting that the underlying math of that proof is sound without seeing the data behind it. eg I read an academic paper that says ZKPs are sound therefore if I have one, even if I cannot see the underlying data, I know it is sound.
I’m totally open to this being wrong and such a tool being available and I think eventually it may be. But in talking to devs and reading multiple shitcoin papers on the subject I have found no evidence to the contrary. I absolutely don’t want to pass myself off as an expert but tried to have put some sincere work into understanding at least at a non technical level.


I'm incredibly honored that my work will be supported by such a based foundation.

You can't imagine the peace of mind an LTS grant provides to an independent dev, so that they can focus on what's important: to ship code.

Thank you OpenSats 🙏

Mutiny's unique privacy-preserving approach to solving lightning addresses with fedimint and blind authentication tokens.

Mutiny has an informative blog post on exactly how they managed to add privacy to LNURLs.

They use a Fedimint gateway and issue ecash to the user to redeem using their public key, but they go further by blinding the addresses themselves! The privacy aspect is looking less like a nice-to-have and more like a necessary part with the DoJ starting to crack down

this argument is total bullshit, there are people who understand math and code implementation and can understand and review cryptography (few people), and other that simply not but somethimes larp as they can.
Zk on bitcoin core cant happens because it is a shitcoin, not because counting would become to difficult.

👀🤯 nostr:note12ujzpmf4wdsmxssjxaz5ryswl88wq4q544sltg8cp5m3u96056dq4j85g9


Building ZK (zero knowledge cryptography) into the Bitcoin Core code itself would mean we go from millions of potential app devs being able to understand, audit, and verify the code to only a tiny handful of cryptographers on the entire planet can truly understand and verify the code and count/supply of Bitcoin. A tiny group of people are easy to control. You cannot control every one of the millions of app devs worldwide who can read C++ or Python.
The roughly same mental model applies to most base chain advanced cryptography privacy proposals, eg you lose broad understanding and verification. You risk another Bitcoin Dark type situation (not a perfect comparison but general fuckery with the supply in a covert way by insiders).
Maybe this is a more realistic possibility way in the future. And ZK stuff can be great when built on top of Bitcoin, but putting it into the base chain due to a panic over privacy is short term thinking and wildly misguided.

If you’re on Nostr, you’re probably not new to Bitcoin. But if you are, PSA: every headline like this is designed to get you to sell your stack. Don’t fall for it. Just HODL and get wealthy in slow motion with the rest of us. https://image.nostr.build/0446f7f67bebaad6173fefd0eb2d3b0656e0a99804c5fd0a33de59b32942064b.jpg

Rolling out some new WIP documentation for NDK.

Taking a page from nostr:npub1m4ny6hjqzepn4rxknuq94c2gpqzr29ufkkw7ttcxyak7v43n6vvsajc2jl  's book and adding a link at the top to Wikifreedia's entries tagged with #NDK so that anyone can create their own entries if they've discovered something and want to permissionlessly extend the documentation.

Yes, running ZEUS makes you feel godly, but have you tried building Core Lightning from source?


The timing is strange, just as we are getting a rapid increase in 3rd party coverage after getting slashdotted.  I hope there's not a big hurry to wrap the discussion and decide.  How long does Wikipedia typically leave a question like that open for comment?
It would help to condense the article and make it less promotional sounding as soon as possible.  Just letting people know what it is, where it fits into the electronic money space, not trying to convince them that it's good.  They probably want something that just generally identifies what it is, not tries to explain all about how it works.

I've never seen someone getting into altcoins, start getting fit, becoming more disciplined, having lots of children. They mostly seem to have and up drinking a lot and getting fat.

altcoins are fiat 2.0


#asknostr If you are using smaller relays, we’d love to know:
- how did you discover them?
- are they with people you know IRL, topical, local or something else
- what do you like about using a smaller relay?
- what if anything would you change or improve about using a smaller relay?


New version of Coracle is out! More cleaning house, since it's that time of year — but I did manage to slip in an update to Coracle's custom feeds which I'm extremely excited about:

It's now possible to bookmark other people's custom feeds! I know this sounds trivial, but just click the link below to see how powerful this is.

https://coracle.social/naddr1qvzqqqrujgpzp978pfzrv6n9xhq5tvenl9e74pklmskh4xw6vxxyp3j8qkke3cezqy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq32amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7tcqzqerxvfkxycnzd35xyerjd3hxgcsfequjd

(sometimes the relay drops the connection and it fails to load. I'm not sure whose fault this is yet, just try again if that happens)

So what is this? It's a feed hand-built by me which uses the NIP-32 labels gleasonator.dev publishes to track trends. What does that mean? Coracle now has fully decentralized, shareable, algorithmic trending feeds! Who needs a caching server when you have this?!

For more details, take a look at the video demonstration I recorded this morning:

https://v.nostr.build/ml4rk.mp4

Full change log:

- [x] Show toast when offline
- [x] Use new indexeddb wrapper
- [x] Add `k` tag to deletions
- [x] Allow users to choose where to publish their profile when using a white-labeled instance
- [x] Add "open with" link populated by nip 89 handlers
- [x] Fix several community and calendar related bugs
- [x] Add reports using tagr-bot
- [x] Open links to coracle in same tab
- [x] Add global feeds
- [x] Add feed favorites

From hrfbounties.org:

> Update: 1 BTC of this bounty has been claimed by Martti Malmi for his work incorporating this functionality into Iris. The remaining 1 BTC has been awarded to Vitor Pamplona, hodlbod, and Paul Miller for their work on NIP-17. Paul Miller redirected his bounty to opensats in order to have his open-source libraries audited.

I'm still figuring out what I want to do with this money — it's too little to allow me to really hire someone for Coracle, but enough to maybe get some work done. So if you have a strong background in nostr and/or web development and would like to do some contracting, please get in touch.

For now, I've gone ahead and donated 5MM sats each to coincenter.org and p2prights.org to help them fight the criminalization of financial privacy in the courts. Appealing to the state is not really a solution to its overreach, but I think it's still an important place to advocate in a visible way for our rights.


Pay to NPUB (P2NPUB) Proposal

This could be an easier way to transmit funds than zapping. The payer only needs to interact with a Lightning Address provider that supports P2NPUB. #Nostr and #CASHU take care of the rest.

P2NPUB is simply:

1. The LN Address provider detects that the local part of a LN address is a valid npub.
2. The LN address provider accepts the payment on behalf of the npub
3. The LN address provider then immediately mints a Cash token of corresponding amount (minus applicable fees)
4. The LN address provider sends by DM (NIP-04) to npub
5. Npub receives DM and redeems accordingly.

Already implemented for <npub>@openbalance.app

Any LN address provider can implement now.

Finally, LN wallets can easily support - it's just Lightning Address. If just a npub, just transform into a Lightning Address that supports P2NPUB.

On June 3 the Human Rights Foundation presented the Maseko Prize at Oslo City Hall

The widow of Thulani Maseko, an incredibly brave Swazi lawyer who was murdered in his home in front of his children by the Swazi king, was there alongside the Mayor of Oslo to present this year's prize to Yulia Navalnaya, who accepted the award on behalf of her late murdered husband Alexei Navalny

This special performance then followed the ceremony. It's very moving and worth watching

I was sitting in one of the front rows, and after the song ended, we held a long moment of silence to honor brave lawyers who take risks to defend the most vulnerable in society. In a big stone building like that, that silence was deafening. It was something I will never forget

Nip-29 is on the horizon, promising to reduce our reliance on group communication tools like Slack and Telegram.

I envision it as a straightforward and user-friendly solution, including the deployment of a Nip-29 relay. With Nip-29, you’ll be able to join relays to discuss topics that interest you. Moderation features will be available, allowing for the possibility of being banned. However, this isn’t a significant issue—if your voice isn’t welcomed somewhere, you can easily set up your own relay with your preferred groups. This process will be accessible to users of all experience levels.

This is the driving force behind Seer. I’m starting with native apps for Apple platforms because I believe that using platform-specific tools and frameworks yields the best results. My goal is to create applications that seamlessly integrate with the platform they run on.

Stay tuned for updates—Seer development is progressing well.


Today we’re trying something new to make threads suck less. We’ve just released a new experiment on the Damus Purple Testflight, here’s a quick video on the new chat threads feature and how it works!

#ChatControl is the first step in building compliance for a totalitarian mass-surveillance regime, in which none of your digital communications can be kept safe.

Chat Control is set to be greenlit by the EU tomorrow. It aims to establish the voluntary-in-name-only scanning of all digital messaging, from dating apps to E2EE messengers on your phone to automatically report suspicious activity to the police.

If providers choose to opt-out of chat control, users will be prohibited from sending  photo and video content – because think of the children – Greatly impacting our freedom to communicate without having all of our messages scanned.

Here's what you can do. Sway votes for Chat Control include Italy, Greece, Portugal, Finland, Slovenia, Estonia, and the Czech Republic. Contact your EU representatives today and let them know what you think of their mass-surveillance plans (you can do so by email).

Chat Control needs to be stopped, or it will only get worse from here.

A gentle reminder that there are always people working in the space between the lines. 📝

A warm cup of tea to soften the crushing bite of reality. ☕

A glimpse into the magnificent pillars of sunshine that hold up the sky in succinctly cascading arrays. 🌅

I often wonder,

What is the ideal ratio of signal to noise? 🔔🚨

How can I best express myself without being misinterpreted, often by total strangers? 🗣💔

What are the most attainable means of reaching meaningful consensus? 🙋🙋🙅🙋

What can be learned from the successes, and failures, of others? 🧠

How can I have the most impact? 🤝

But I'm glad that when I open my feed, everyone has their own agenda. 🗓

"No one can stop Nostr, therefore no one can stop me."

Be #ungovernable, and be unashamed.

#Nostr is organic, emergent technology.

Just like #Bitcoin.

If you're reading this, I support you wholeheartedly in all that you are doing. Keep up the great work. You will make people proud.
